The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) seeks to provide an attractive investment environment characterized by fairness, efficiency, and transparency, offering a wide range of investment channels that serve all categories of investors. The diversification of investment products in financial markets is regarded as a fundamental pillar for attracting, retaining, and growing domestic and foreign capital. In this context, the (FRA) places the highest priority on developing the capabilities of professionals operating in the non-bank financial sector to ensure the sustainability of market development and to enhance market efficiency and competitiveness.

The Authority also aims to strengthen the capacities of its own staff by developing their skills to keep pace with market developments, enhance supervisory and oversight mechanisms in line with international best practices, and transition regulatory practices from traditional supervision to a risk-based supervisory approach. This is achieved through the establishment of robust legislative and regulatory frameworks that ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, compliance with governing rules and regulations, and the continued growth of business activities, alongside the ongoing assessment of the financial sector’s vulnerability to economic crises as an early-warning tool for potential risks.

To this end, the (FRA) has adopted an integrated strategy for the period 2023–2027 aiming to enhance the role of the non-bank financial sector in supporting the national economy. The strategy aims to develop and stabilize non-bank financial markets, promote awareness and financial literacy regarding non-bank financial services and products across all segments of society, and adopt effective policies that foster a conducive environment for business growth and prosperity. It also seeks to facilitate access to financing and the utilization of non-bank financial products and services, ensure continuous review of the financial solvency of companies operating in the sector, and strengthen its role in serving the Egyptian national economy and supporting its capacity to achieve balanced and sustainable growth.

The FRA’s strategy is built upon four core pillars of development, as follows:

• Pillar One: Development of markets and products.
• Pillar Two: Development of regulatory and service frameworks and support for market stability.
• Pillar Three: Financial, investment, and insurance inclusion.
• Pillar Four: Development of professional capacities.
